Exercise on Probability:

1. A random experiment can result in one of the outcomes {a,b,c,d} with probabilities 0.01, 0.3, 0.5 and 0.1,
respectively. Let A denote the event {a,b}, B the event {b,c,d} and C the event {d}.

Find the following probabilities:

a) P(A) b) P(B) c) P(C) d) P(A’) e) P(A∩B) f) P(AᴜC)

2. The probability that a student will pass Statistics is 0.50 and the probability that he will pass English is
0.80. The probability that he will pass both is 0.60. What is the probability that the student will pass at
least one of the two subjects?
3. The probability that it will rain tomorrow is 0.73. What is the probability that it will be not rain tomorrow?
4. A box contains 6 red and 4 black balls. Two balls from the box are drawn one at a time without
replacement. What is the probability that the second ball is red if it is known that the first is red?
